Ricki-Lee Coulter’s hospital horror

Former Australian Idol star, Ricki-Lee Coulter has taken to Instagram to post a throwback to her champagne cork mishap last year.

The singer posted a photo of the injuries that she sustained after opening a bottle of champagne close to her face, resulting to the cork hitting her in the eye.

“I was sitting on the edge of the couch opening a bottle of champagne, when my little sister came over to give me a hug. I lent down to hug her, and with my eye just inches from the bottle...it popped!” She recalls.

“I thought I'd been blind sided by Mike Tyson! It was excruciating! To start with I couldn't see a thing, everything was black - then when I stopped seeing black everything was blurry and I couldn't focus on anything. I was terrified I would never see again. The pain was like nothing I have ever felt. It was extremely painful to move my eyes, so I had to keep them closed.” She continued.
